Sitting at 7,717 feet in the Spring Mountains, this USFS campground offers 24 sites among towering ponderosa pines and white fir. Summer temps run 20-30 degrees cooler than Vegas valley floor — a genuine relief when the desert’s cooking. Sites are well-spaced with fire rings and picnic tables, though most are better suited for smaller rigs due to mountain terrain and mature trees.
Access is via paved Highway 158, but the winding mountain road can be slow going with a trailer. Water and flush toilets available, but no hookups or dump station. Gets busy on summer weekends when Vegas folks flee the heat. Closed in winter due to snow.
